Krabi has a nice seaside atmosphere with cheap accommodation, tasty Thai/Moslem food and friendly people. Its striking rock formation islands and beautiful beaches made the area a pirate haven in bygone days. Now mainly a stopover for tourists going to outlying islands, the town itself is nice for short visits.
Local beaches include Hat Noppharat Thara, Ao Nang and Ao Phai Phlong. All are lovely, but one of the finest is Hat Tham Phra Nang, with a cave where fishermen honor the spirit of an Indian princess said to have perished here over two thousand years ago.
Ao Nang Bay is known as the center of all beaches in Krabi. From here, tourists get on a boat for a tour at Koh Poda archipelago to see the parting sea while adventurers head to Ao Rai Lay for rock climbing. For stunning beach and scenery, many people opt for Ao Tham Phra Nang Bay, which is about a 10 minute boat ride from An Nang Bay. There are plenty of restaurants and tour agencies that provide bus and plane tickets, or package tours to the sea and the jungle. A variety of accommodations are available from budget guesthouses to luxury resorts.Off Krabi shore, Phi Phi archipelago has a reputation for fine diving sites with a variety of colorful coral reefs and marine life. Therefore, it is a good idea to take a boat from Krabi or Phuket to Phi Phi for a snorkeling or diving trip. Indeed, From November to March is the best time to come to the Andaman sea at this time of the year since the skies are clear, making clear visibility underwater.
